[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Malcolm Gladwell addressed this in his Revisionist History Podcast.  In [url=http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/04-carlos-doesnt-remember/][b]Ep 4 - Carlos Doesn't Remember[/b][/url], Gladwell describes something most Americans don't think about, but take for granted as one of the best things about America:

MG: Carlos is a smart kid. He’s gotten a scholarship to a really good private school...

He goes on to look at all the factors that make the path to realizing Carlos' potential pretty rocky and broken.  Most are a pretty lost cause by the time they reach 8th grade.  [b]If you want to generalize the reasons, the primary is that survival supersedes education in many different ways.[/b]

You're trying to distort root cause of everything wrong with Carlos's upbringing: his parents, specifically his mom, who was narcissist criminal who refused to let him accept a 4 year boarding school scholarship from Choate!

Shitty parents, shitty kids. Shitty people need to stop bringing multiple babies into the world when they can't even get their own life together.[/quote]
